- Never before scenes from our movie "BN: Quarter Century" DVD
Filmed in ID, MT, WY, IL, NY, CO, AZ, CA
The Burlington Northern Railroad was formed out of three large and three smaller roads in 1970. It was a success for 25 years. This DVD brings back all the great BN power and clean cars of those years that led up to the merging with the Santa Fe Railroad to create the BNSF system today!
We bring the early 1980s and the 1990s back to life with a variety of locations that reveal the many awesome locations that the BN was known for. Graffiti free boxcar-general freight, Lumber, and log loads, plus grain and Coop Hopper trains, coal and intermodals. The locomotive parade features everything on the BN Roster. The color movie and crystal-clear video scenes were brought to you by four different people's cameras. Each lived close to the tracks and had access to find the best shooting locations, and angles.
The many priceless scenes were gathered on numerous trips extending almost 3 decades. This DVD will bring railroad engine music to your ears.
This chapter is from the video recordings of Dave Defendorf.
We didn’t realize how good we had it……
Thanks for the videos of the BNFT and UPT fuel tenders. Those are really unique.
I’ve never seen the fuel tank extender tank car before. Did they just run a fuel line from the tank car to the locomotives?
In their day, the Oakway SD 60’s were awesome! Worked an 8000 ton unit grain train westward out of Wenatchee, 4 Oakways and no helper.
The respective BN + SF liveries of those times were so much more distinct; striking and impressive than the latter day BNSF pumpkin design .... But don't get me wrong; BNSF remains a favourite ! 🤙✊️👊💫💥
90s mergers ruined a lot of great schemes at the time for sure.

I do not like the term (Old School). A train that does it's job is not old school regardless of its age. Railroads play a critical service to a country's livelihood & should be in pristine order at all times. Todays RRs are a far cry from the past ones that served very very well. If the term is here to stay, I am old school too & we need to return to it for that made the country a great one.
